Picker wheel

Spin a wheel made from your own options and keep the draw history.

Privacy: runs in your browser

This tool processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Favorites store only tool names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. When a button sends your result to another tool, it waits in this tab until that tool opens it, for up to a minute, and is then deleted.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Language: English
Open a list from a file

A .txt file with one option per line, or a spreadsheet saved as .csv with the options in the first column. The file is read on this device and never uploaded.

Sharing and starting over

A copied link includes what you entered and your settings, so anyone with it can see them. Leave private text out. Files and results are not included; random draws are made again.

Start over puts the tool back to its starting values and closes any open file or device. Drafts you saved stay on this device until you delete them.

Every entry gets the same chance

The wheel draws from the remaining entries using browser randomness, then turns for about three seconds and stops on the entry drawn. Remove after spin prevents the same entry being drawn again. With No animation, or reduced motion set on your device, the result appears at once.

Next: List randomizer

Worked example

Ink, Coral and Teal are three equal entries. With removal enabled, a drawn entry leaves two choices for the next spin.

Before you rely on the result

Repeated lines increase that option’s chance because each line is an entry. The visual wheel is a cue for the draw, not a physical simulation of momentum. Use up to 1,000 entries, with at most 200 characters per entry.
